Because of security concerns I've pretty much given up on personal e-mail, and I shop only at one or two sites which already have my personal information. In short, why do I even have a home computer? I feel like the proverbial teenager who gets a car so he can get to his job, for the sole purpose of paying for his car. It's just nuts.
I've been an IT professional for going on 20 years. I've seen enough to make me absolutely paranoid. Pity poor, clueless Aunt Minnie. The guy at Wal-Mart who sold her that cheap computer didn't tell her she needed a PhD in IT security to run it.
